Joe Flacco’s desire for a contract extension did not prevent him from reporting to Baltimore Ravens offseason workouts Monday.

"The contract is not really an issue," Flacco said via the team’s website. "It’s going to be taken care of by the guys upstairs and my agent. I really don’t have anything to worry about on that front. Either it’s going to get done or it’s not. I won’t be happy if it doesn’t get done, but I’m not going to make a big deal of it."

Flacco will be entering the final season of his contract. The Ravens have made the playoffs all four seasons since Flacco became their starting quarterback as a rookie in 2008.

Even if negotiations drag on, Flacco said he would not be distracted.

"It’s just any other offseason," Flacco said. "I’ll be at OTAs and stuff. I’m not really going to put my mind on it. I’m going to keep myself at ease and keep my mind on football."

Flacco’s teammate, running back Ray Rice, did not report, but that was expected. Rice was given the franchise tag and has not signed his tender. He also wants a long-term deal.
